I have the great honor of being Initiated into the Brotherhood next Wednesday. Shortly after I will be travelling to Austin then D.C. on business. What are the views/rules for an EA attending Lodge that has opened in the EA?
I would imagine that I would have to be proficient enough to be...
It cracks me up that this post is three years old and resurfacing! Me thinks somebody was looking though old posts for some wisdom...I need to follow suit! There is so much treasure on this site...
Canada Lodge UD, GRC is in Kandahar. I am an Iraq vet, so not sure if it is within a justifiable mission distance. I read it somewhere else as well (Bro_Vick's blog?), and it sounded active.
Here is a paper that was presented from this Canadian Officer's experience. Photos and all...it is...
AF&AM in Bagram, Afghanistan
I read in an article that there was a Lodge chartered from Ontario (not PHA) on that base (or another). As a Texas Mason you should be able to attend there. I'll look for the source doc. Others: Correct me where I'm wrong.
Her profile reads that it is an 18 year old lesbian from Leeds. Probably has peripheral awareness of Masonry from a family member, 17 cups of coffee, fast internet connection, and no life (not to mention a firm grasp on grammar...<rolls eyes>...).
I read your comment and then looked at the site. I was so baffled at the crazy ranting that I totally forgot about what you said...until I saw Lolitavida. Way too funny!
I think I understand what you are meaning. What I have found is that some of the "discussions" end up with a few comments from accomplished Brothers that come across as the "Final Point." At first I probably took it as (a little) condescending and as and an abrupt end to the discussion.
I have...
Congrats! I hear it is quite a bit of work. I'm right behind you guys. I'm being initiated next Wednesday in Dallas. I am very excited! It's been something I've been researching and contemplating on for a number of years...and now it's right around the corner.
See the thread regarding the GM in Montana being removed that he posted in the other day. There were two posts from members with brand new accounts. Note Brother Porter's post. May be legit. May be somebody creating an account to further their argument. Maybe Tekz will PM you for more info. The...
I totally hijacked this thread. I apologize. I've gotten my answers, but I'm not sure you have. Thanks for the edification and here's the real question for the thread.
Now, Brother Vick, if he were to join the Commandery would he have to swear an oath as a Christian (i.e. he must be a Christian? Or would it be more analogous to swearing the oath of the Shrine, i.e. he could join as a non-Christian faith Brother into the Commandery?
To be clear: my initial...
Completely understandable for the Commandery. As it pertains to Christians morals, beliefs, and history. My question regards the prior two bodies of York Rite.
(FYI: I am Christian and interested in York Rite, but am looking for edification regarding the religious requirements of the other two...
